Cyril II Kontares (Greek: Κύριλλος Κονταρῆς; died June 1640) was three-time Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople (1633, 1635–1636, 1638–1639).^[1] He was from Veroia, coming to Constantinople in 1618.^[2]

Cyril Lucaris' popularity among high clergy made leadership more difficult for Cyril II, who had to contend with their undermining of his authority.^[3]

Though recognized as a true Patriarch,^[4] he made a Catholic profession of faith.^[5]

"To be sure, the Ecclesiarum Belgicarum Confessio was the symbol, so to speak, of the Protestant-Orthodox union. For, right after Loukaris's death, his pro-Catholic adversary, Cyril II Kontares, who replaced him on the ecumenical throne, sent to Rome, which had always supported him in his struggle against Loukaris, a Roman Catholic confession of faith. In addition he published the following decision of the (patriarchal) synod: Those who read the Book of the Βelgic Confession, which begins (as follows): ‘We believe … all with [our] heart’; and the chapters bearing the name of Cyril, of which the first is: ‘We believe in the one true God’, they are anathematised; and, in general, those not obeying all holy and ecumenical councils are anathematised."
